Can Gas Emissions from Landfills Be Toxic?


Yes, gas emissions, particularly methane and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be toxic if not properly managed. Landfills are designed with gas collection systems to capture and either flare or utilize the gases, thus reducing their potential harm. Effective gas management reduces the risk of air pollution and minimizes the exposure to harmful substances.
